Study links uniform perovskite film formation to longer-lasting tandem solar cells

Researchers found that achieving a more uniform film-formation process during the fabrication of perovskite-based tandem solar cells improves both their performance and durability. The finding points to film uniformity as a key factor in reducing defects that typically degrade these cells over time.

New evaporation method lowers manufacturing temperature for perovskite-silicon solar cells

Researchers led by Luo and colleagues, writing in Nature, developed a technique that prevents degradation of a key compound during thermal evaporation of perovskite thin films. This breakthrough allows high-performance perovskite-silicon tandem solar cells to be fabricated at significantly lower temperatures and at commercial-scale sizes than previous methods permitted.
